David Lee commented on CB-5634:
-------------------------------
I'm still able to reproduce this on Android for 3.4.0-0.1.3.
Maybe it's a bug in the docs, but I have {{<preference name="Orientation" value="portrait"
/>}} in my config.xml and it's still reorienting to landscape.

> The docs say that an Orientation preference is supposed to work across all platforms.
However, Android's activities can only be locked to an orientation by modifying the AndroidManifest.xml.
> To get past this, we either change the docs, or we support this in the CLI. I feel that
adding an XML parser to the scripts is complete overkill, since we don't have any tests for
our platform scripts, and I personally think they're a giant pile of technical debt.
